The loudest sentence in today's opinion is the one that's not there.
The Court had a chance to absolve Trump of having engaged in

While Trump may have won a battle over legal technicalities to restore
himself to the ballot, he lost on the bigger question of whether he'd
be absolved of being an insurrectionist. On that question the Court

If SCOTUS drags its heels on Trump's immunity case, then this suggest
they are intentionally favoring Trump.

==================================================================

Former President Trump pulled out an unanimous victory at the Supreme
Court on Monday in his historic ballot ban case that invoked the 14th Amendment, but a 5-4 division among the justices emerged beneath the
surface -- joined by one of his own nominees.

Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the court's three liberals criticized their five conservative colleagues for going further than
they needed to in resolving Trump's case by also determining that the
only way for the 14th Amendment to be enforced is through a statute by Congress.

Chicken Shit response....and they know Republican Congressional
members are not honest, and many are not fit for duty.

The Supreme Court's "Unanimous" Trump Ballot Ruling Is Actually a 5-4
Disaster

On Monday, the Supreme Court unanimously reversed a Colorado Supreme
Court decision removing Donald Trump from the ballot because of his
engagement in an insurrection on Jan. 6. But that top-line holding is
where the unanimity ended because five conservative justices just
couldn't help themselves: They went much further than the case
required, announcing an entirely new rule that Congress alone, through
"a particular kind of legislation," may enforce the constitutional bar
on insurrectionists holding office. As the three liberal justices
pointed out, in a separate opinion that glows white-hot with
indignation, the majority's overreach "attempts to insulate all
alleged insurrectionists from future challenges to their holding
federal office." They are, of course, correct. After this decision, it
is impossible to imagine a federal candidate, up to and including the president, ever being disqualified from assuming office because of
their participation in an insurrection.
